Featured Speaker: Mark Albertin

From birth, we are given rules on how to live in a civilized world. We learn to read, write and speak a language. And most all of us go through an entire life never really hearing the natural world around us. Never really understanding. Never really caring to listen.

Yet, more and more studies are confirming that nature is talking…we just aren’t listening or understanding.

It took me most of my life to understand. It took countless photography trips deep into the Okefenokee Swamp and other wild places, alone. It took slowing down and listening. And what I came away with is beyond anything I could have imagined.

Mark will discuss making the film “Sacred Waters” and his solo trips over night capturing the beauty and life of the swamp.
He will be showing some of his one-of-a-kind images of the nature we are sometimes too busy to experience.

Continuing on the great tradition of Atlanta Science Tavern and Science Tales & Trails – GSJ events are interactive events that share science information, facilitate discussion, and help us all work together to enable science to serve all of Georgia.

Join Mark Albertin as we learn the lessons from filming in the Okefenokee Swamp.
